Chappell acknowledges Robert Turbin and perhaps rookie Marlon Mack could or even will help with the running back load, but Gore looks to be in no danger of losing his lead-back job. A concern for Gore's 2017 upside is Turbin's superior 2016 red-zone efficiency. Whereas Turbin converted 5-of-10 carries inside the five-yard line into touchdowns, Gore went 2-for-10 on such opportunities. Jun 15 - 4:21 PM

Frank Gore remained reasonably effective last season, but he will turn 34 in May and is clearly trending downward. Indy did re-sign Robert Turbin earlier this month, but they need to look toward the future at the position. It will not be surprising if the Colts spend an early pick on a running back.

Frank Gore rushed 16 times for 62 yards in the Colts' Week 17 win over the Jaguars, adding two receptions for 14 additional yards.

Gore finishes the year with 1,025 yards rushing, making him the first back 33 years or older to have a 1K campaign since John Riggins in 1984. That is not to say Gore had an electric season. He averaged 3.89 yards per carry, making 2016 the second time in two years as a Colt he failed to crack the 4.0 barrier. Gore was too big a part of the Colts' offense, and needs to be a committee member if he continues his career in 2017. He's signed for $3.5 million in Indy, a number the team will probably try to bring down. Jan 1 - 4:52 PM

Frank Gore had 13 carries for 73 yards in Week 16 against the Raiders.

He added one catch for 12 yards. Gore was effective early but didn't do much in the second half. He lost some red-zone work to Robert Turbin, who caught a three-yard touchdown. Gore has rushed for at least 70 yards or a touchdown in four straight weeks. He has a matchup with Jacksonville in Week 17. Sat, Dec 24, 2016 07:37:00 PM

Irsay still sounded optimistic overall, acknowledging he couldn't "unequivocally say" Luck will be ready for Week 1 but promising Luck will be back "around" the start of the season. Colts beat writers have hinted that even if Luck misses Week 1 against the Rams, he could return for Week 2 against the Cardinals. The Colts may view the Rams as beatable with Scott Tolzien under center. Irsay also confirmed Sunday that Luck has indeed resumed throwing.

WR Quan Bray was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding roster move. The Colts have gotten extremely little production behind T.Y. Hilton since Donte Moncrief went down with a shoulder injury. An UDFA out of Iowa, Smith had a productive summer, catching 10 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns in the preseason.

It's why Swoope sat out the Colts' preseason opener. Swoope is expected to play a bigger role as a sub-package tight end this year, but the missed time will set him back, and he is questionable to be ready for Week 1. Jack Doyle remains locked in as the Colts' every-down tight end.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Colts will likely place C Ryan Kelly (foot surgery) on injured reserve with the intent to designate him as one of their return players.

The center will have surgery to repair a "bone defect" on Friday. The recovery timeline was originally given as 6-8 weeks, but putting Kelly on injured reserve would force him to sit out until at least Week 9. With Kelly looking likely to miss half the season, the Colts will almost certainly attempt to bring in outside help. They met with Jeremy Zuttah this week.
